Woody and I led the young horses out on a ride this morning
Murphy (the bay in the pictures) came out for his first hack out since being backed last week. He was such a good boy. And Woody got his brave pants on to give the young horses some confidence.


Every year, for the last 8 years, hubby and I visit a local Christmas hot-dog stand (it only pops up at Christmas time once a year). We went there as part of our first date 8 years ago, and have returned yearly ever since.
This year, Koda tagged along!

Not sure why it does that? I think it depends on whether I post from my phone or from the laptop. I always copy the same link though

Clearly likes mud!

Well I don’t

 

[Bradshaw Piggies]

So excited for 2022

Those who know me, know I love horses with huge paces and huge character to match!
I really do feel so thankful every day for Woody. Tons of character, beautiful big paces and most of all a truly lovely boy every day he amazes me even more.

lovely Woody

 

[Betsy]

Well I don’t

Only cos you have to clean it off! I wouldn't like mud either if I had to clean several animals of it.

Piggies are enjoying some treats that Santa brought for them this year.
Woody and I are really pushing on with our training so that we can start competing soon.

I was clearly taking too long to make his breakfast! When I turned around, he was opening the door to see where I was

 

[Bradshaw Piggies]

The boys would like to wish everyone a Good Morning!

 

[Bill & Ted]

Oh Banner I am totally smitten

 

[Merab]

Good morning gorgeous boys

Oh Banner I am totally smitten

I saw him first! He's mine Jane!

 

[Bradshaw Piggies]

So, I've officially affiliated Woody with British Dressage... Competition time!
Can't lose any motivation now, it's game on

 

[Betsy]

Well done! How exciting! Hope you both get fit enough in no time.

Waiting outside for our vet appointment this afternoon. Was a bad case of gastroenteritis. Could have been something he ate, or could have been something viral/bacterial. My suspicion is he caught something, as antibiotics seem to be helping.

I’m working from home this week to help nurse him back to health. He’s started eating again today
